The Jets put the first of their four preseason games in the books on Thursday night, when they lost 31-22 against the Giants at MetLife Stadium.

Before the game, we took a shot at projecting the 53-man roster. But we know a little more now that the game is complete. So it’s worth doubling back and updating our outlook on where things stand and which players are in the best position to survive the roster being trimmed down.

As always, keep in mind that things can still change due to injury, signings or waiver pickups. But this is how we view the Jets’ 53-man roster for this season shaping up as of right now:

No questions here, really – unless the Jets opt to add a third QB to the roster. But Darnold and Siemian are the obvious top two, as Thursday night’s game clearly showed. Darnold played with the starters in the opening series, then Siemian came in to relieve him. Luke Falk and Davis Webb played with the threes and are fighting it out for that spot, which will probably be on the practice squad.

Bell is the lock of all locks on this roster, of course. Montgomery has been an absolute workhorse and was useful Thursday, catching one pass and running twice on the starters’ one drive. The Jets signed Powell late in the offseason, so presumably they decided to scoop him up because they liked him better than their other current depth options. But, he didn’t play Thursday and still has to prove he can take a hit after suffering a serious neck injury last year. Then, it comes down to the final spot – assuming the Jets keep four RBs. Cannon and Eli McGuire are the real contenders. McGuire has probably had the more active summer, but we went with Cannon here because of his special teams abilities. Even if he doesn’t win the punt or kick return roles, he can be valuable in coverage because of his speed; he led the unit in tackles as a rookie and flashed that again with a tackle in punt coverage against the Giants.

Anderson, Enunwa and Crowder are the top three at this position and will likely see the lion’s share of the snaps all season long. But after that, the position is pretty wide open. Dortch, an undrafted rookie, is in the mix for the punt return job and helped his cause in that regard with a 32-yard return on Thursday night. He has flashed some potential as a receiver, too. Bellamy was just signed this offseason. He was the first man up Tuesday, when Enunwa left injured, and is also a valuable special teams guy. Burnett was the Jets’ second slot receiver when Crowder got banged up earlier this summer. Then, the question is how many players the Jets keep at this spot. Thompson lined up with the second team on Thursday night and has been making a few plays in practice of late, too. Having an extra wideout feels right, considering the quality of depth is shaky. So the Jets keep Thompson to make up for the lack of quality with quantity.

Tight ends (3): Ryan Griffin, Trevon Wesco, Daniel Brown

The biggest question at tight end is whether the Jets keep three or four to start the year. If they go with four, then Eric Tomlinson makes the team. If it’s three, we think he’s the casualty. Tomlinson sure seems redundant now that the Jets have Wesco, who is a blocking-minded player first and foremost – but some degree of upside in the passing game, unlike Tomlinson. Remember: Chris Herndon is suspended for the first four games of the year.

The first five guys on this list are the starters, so that’s obvious. Harrison will stick around as the backup center and a potential guard fill-in. Compton and Lewis both have nice versatility, too. Edoga can play both tackle spots. This group will allow the Jets some flexibility as a result. Notable cut: Brent Qvale, who is currently injured and could be on the shelf for a while to come.

Both Shepherd and Kaufusi were on the field with the starters when Leonard Williams and McLendon sat out Thursday night’s game. So clearly the Jets like what they provide in terms of depth. Quinnen Williams clearly isn’t going anywhere, either. And Henry Anderson will be a key cog in the defensive front, too. This group looks pretty clear cut right now.

Mosley, Williamson, Jenkins and Copeland are still the Jets’ starters. Luvu and Cashman keep getting considerable run, too, and had solid showings against the Giants. Langi has to get back to health, but the Jets have been experimenting with him all summer and seem to like what he provides on the edge. The odds of them cutting Polite just months after picking him in the third round still seem slim at this point, even if he’s not currently in line to make a major impact. And Hewitt sticks around because three inside linebackers just isn’t enough and he’s the next man on the depth chart.

Johnson, Roberts and Poole are shoe-ins as the starters, of course. But beyond that, who knows. This group has serious depth issues and could become a constant game of musical chairs if players don’t step up and separate themselves from the pack. For now, at least, Maulet, Brown and Jones are the leading candidates – mostly because the other options are even worse. But they’re all far from locks at this point.

Adams and Marcus Maye are surefire starters, when healthy. But Maye is currently on the PUP list and there’s no guarantee he’ll be back in time for Week 1; Adam Gase said earlier this week that he’s dealing with a nerve issue and there’s no clear timetable for his recovery. So, for now, we’ll assume he isn’t back in time. Miles has been the man holding down Maye’s spot, so he’s clearly on the squad. Middleton has experience as a fill-in safety, too, so pencil him in. That leaves one spot. We’ll give it to Bryant over Santos Ramirez and Godwin Igwebuike. But Ramirez does have a chance.

Punters (1): Lachlan Edwards

We give Edwards the edge over Matt Darr in the competition here. Special teams coordinator Brant Boyer has always been a fan of Edwards, which could help his cause. But he’s not a lock yet.

Kickers (1): TBD

Chandler Catanzaro is the only kicker on the roster right now. But he’s had a horrible start to training camp. And things didn’t get better Thursday, when he missed a 38-yard PAT. Right now, we think the Jets cut him and find someone else before the start of the regular season. He has to turn it around ASAP to change that thinking.

Long snappers (1): Thomas Hennessy

Hennessy is the only specialist at this position and has been rock solid for the Jets the past few seasons.
